Depending on the belt functions (transportation, pulling, or pressing of products), different coatings are used to enable effective performance of the aforementioned operations. These coatings include polyurethane, rubber, PVC, unique patented types of coatings (Linatex, Correx, Viton, Tenax), and others.
Choosing the appropriate coating for a belt requires considering many factors, including:
- the functions the belt will perform;
- the geometric shape of the product that will come into contact with the coating (coatings with additional perforation, mechanical processing or attachments of various sizes and shapes may be applied);
- the coating's resistance to environmental factors (such as humidity, chemicals, and temperature);
- the coating's resistance to mechanical damage (ability to withstand tearing, cutting, abrasion, elasticity, and strength);
- other requirements determined by technological processes.
Belts with coatings are widely used in various industrial sectors, including packaging, wrapping, paper production, woodworking and textiles.
